Of course it still works, as things from that era usually made well do, we used it to make the deviled eggs for mom's reception.

My thoughts as well. It is amazing that boiling eggs became the method handed down.
A friend of ours got one for her wedding gift (that was 50 years
ago) and swore by it. Even replaced it about 10 years ago which was when I heard about them first from a conversation with her. It isn't just for hard boiled, of course. Cooks eggs perfectly. I think steaming without this sort of appliance is more "complicated" equipment wise.
Still available.

Love the way this thread went from an egg steamer to a friendly goat!
I steamed a few eggs to hard stage yesterday in my steamer basket. Works like a charm
I see no need to have a egg steamer to take up more room in my kitchen storage area. It is amazing how beautiful they turn out and so easy to peel, after a soak in ice water. I tried a new deviled egg recipe I saw on The Kitchen yesterday. I have never mixed avocado and eggs before. This also had lemon juice and zest. Very healthy, simple, and delicious.

Avocado egg salad is one of my favorite breakfasts. I actually crave it at times. It's great on
whole grain toast, or in a lettuce wrap for a snack or lunch, or piled on a thick slice of tomato. I just chop or mash hard boiled eggs and avocado together, season with Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper and whatever else I feel like adding that day:
chopped green onion or minced chives or red onion or shallots
lemon juice (or lime)
a touch of Dijon or ballpark mustard or vinegar
a little salsa
minced fresh herbs like dill or tarragon or cilantro or parsley (cilantro is a favorite)
capers
chopped jalapeno or celery or green olives
pickle relish
mayonnaise isn't needed since the avocado is the fat adding creaminess and binding everything together
I don't add all the above, just whatever suits my fancy at the moment. Good schtuff!
